Kissimmee, Florida: Easy Access to World-Famous Theme Parks and Major Orlando Attractions

Located on the banks of Lake Tohopekaliga, Kissimmee sits about 22 miles from downtown Orlando and just 16 miles from the Walt Disney World® Theme Parks. The world’s most-visited entertainment resort spans roughly 30,000 acres, encompassing four theme parks, two water parks, five golf courses, and the Disney Springs® Area. There’s no shortage of things to do here: begin your day at Magic Kingdom® Park by boarding a rocket-shaped three-seater that climbs to 180 feet before entering a deep black tunnel and racing past stars, satellites, and constellations. After that, ride a dune buggy through a haunted mansion. For dinner, head over to Epcot® to sample cuisine from Morocco, Mexico, France, Italy, and several other countries. As one of the most popular family destinations in the world, sunny Orlando is home to other theme parks including Universal Orlando Resort and SeaWorld Orlando.

Those hoping to shake up the typical theme-park-dominated itinerary can head into downtown Orlando's vibrant arts district. The neighborhood boasts venues such as the CityArts Factory, a multifaceted patchwork of gallery spaces, and SAK Comedy Lab, which holds improv shows five nights a week.

This was a nice place to stay. Had no issues. I would go somewhere else for breakfast, as it was not great at all. The lazy river is small and seems that the lifeguards make up the time to close it themselves. The pool was nice.

Appalling We are appalled to even write this review… We stayed here this past weekend like we have for years, along with a huge group of BMX families who travel from all over the state to celebrate the end of the State season. We have picked this hotel as it’s supposed to be able to handle such a big group. Last night was our big year celebration that our kids who have worked hard all year, look forward to the most. It was early and not at all crazy (as past years have gotten, I’ve been there to experience 5 years of it), the police was called, we were threatened with pepper spray if we didn’t leave the pool, our children were crying as their lifeguards were laughing and police officers kept threatening. It was outright traumatic! The front office ladies were wonderful trying to calm us down and trying to contact the manager who didn’t seem to think that it was important to talk to us. When she finally came around to the front, she threatened to give us trespassing charges as we were trying to rationalize this in the front desk if we didn’t go back to our rooms. I have never been treated so poorly in any establishment before and what our kids had to experience is outright horrific. Unfortunately, all of the years our bmx families supported this hotel is over. Lastly, after you book the hotel and when you arrive at the hotel is when they let you know that you ALSO need to pay for a resort fee for the weekend. Said resort is no resort at all, the lazy river was closed both nights and we were not allowed to use the pool.

FIRST AND LAST TIME! We weren’t allowed to have fun!! I recently stayed at RED LION KISSIMMEE and had an extremely disappointing experience. Our kids were swimming in the lazy river/slide area when they came back to tell us that the lifeguards made us get out, that they were closing that area 2 hours earlier than posted with no reason to them! To shortly find out, We were kicked out of the pool 4 hours earlier than the posted closing time without any valid explanation, they surrounded us with lifeguards and security like we were trespassers and started to whistle for any little move in the pool. When they finally all whistle at the same time to announce no horseplay, no jumping,no running, everyone was accepting to the “new rules they added because they decided to close one pool area and now have a cluster of people to hock over to the main pool”. Fine everyone was continuing to have a good time no issues, even with the staff and lifeguards surrounding the pool, and recording us without our consent, not one person went out of hand in this situation nor did they said we need to leave pool once. To make matters worse, the hotel staff decided the police, who arrived with pepper spray and threatened our children and us if we do not leave the pool in 3 minutes we will get peppered sprayed we were all appalled how this situation was handled. This was a terrifying and traumatic experience for our family. Families and children crying, rushing to the lobby for a reason of this scenario! Despite our attempts to resolve the issue, the hotel has refused to refund our money or any resort fees that they took away from us. This level of customer service is unacceptable, and I would strongly advise against staying at this hotel. Our vacation was ruined, and we are deeply dissatisfied with how we were treated. Additionally, Yanelis Mendez, “the general manager”, was obnoxious and rude, refused to not listen to us, even though the police officers, the front staff, even their own security staff disagreed with how Red Lion handled the situation.

Do not stay here. Worst staff ever Awful experience staff treated us horribly rooms where awful. Bar tending staff was kind. Bed bugs. There was no good part about this stay. The staff threaten our family for letting our kids jump in the pool. Ruined our stay completely. Stay away from this place.
